[An] exuberantly creepy mash-up of Jewish folklore, J-horror atmospherics, and demonic possession boilerplate.

Some of the ideas here may seem original, if questionable, but the treatment -- by writer-director David Goyer -- is strictly conventional, with the shock moments obviously inserted at regular intervals, usually while the heroine is in her underwear.

Cue a creepy toddler, various demonically possessed adults and a Jewish exorcism conducted by Gary Oldman. He's a vastly better actor than the film deserves, but he can't make the script seem even slightly better than it is.

Despite some gruesome special effects, the telling of this story is so prosaic and predictable that genuine thrills are in very short supply.

Audience Reviews for The Unborn
-
Nov 27, 2015Written and directed by David Goyer, The Unborn is a dull and morose supernatural thriller. The story follows a college student named Casey Beldon who begins to have strange visions and comes to believe that she's being stalked by a malicious spirit. Lead actress Odette Yustman has no charisma and gives a completely lifeless performance. And, the script is poorly written and is hard to follow (despite numerous exposition dumps). Additionally, the imagery, while disturbing at times, isn't altogether that scary. Uninspired tripe, The Unborn is a monotonous and poorly made film.Dann M Super Reviewer

Apr 16, 2013Pretty good. Scary, and interesting, especially because it explores an unfamiliar topic. Having Gary Oldman in this film was a great idea by the way, 'cause he's pretty awesome here.Stephen S Super Reviewer

Jun 10, 2012david goyer should stop directing from he's own writing because he has yet to score a bona fid hit. special effects rob the film of any real menace and the cast full of great actors are wasted in minor roles.Brendan N Super Reviewer
